Week 4: Resting in God: The Power of SurrenderKey Idea: True rest comes when we surrender fully to God’s love. In releasing control, we discover peace beyond understanding.
We live in a world that glorifies busyness. We are constantly told that if we are not doing, fixing, or controlling, we are falling behind. Yet, A Course in Miracles teaches us something radically different: our strength is found not in striving, but in surrender.
In Chapter 3, Section II. “The Voice for God”, Jesus reminds us that we are the Kingdom of Heaven, but we have let the belief in darkness enter our minds. The restlessness we feel—the stress, the overthinking, the need to control—comes from believing we are separate from God.
This week’s guided meditation, “Surrendering into Divine Rest,” we experience a golden light representing God’s presence.The link to the meditation is included in the study guide available on our website and is shared at the start of the Sunday study group session.
Readings:
- Lesson 109: “I rest in God.”
- Chapter 3, Section II. “The Voice for God”
“You are the Kingdom of Heaven, but you have let the belief in darkness enter your mind, and so you need a new light.”
